Patriots Make Surprising Cuts, Waive Backup QBs and Offensive Lineman

The New England Patriots have made surprising cuts to their quarterback room, waiving Bailey Zappe, whom they drafted in 2022, and rookie QB/WR Malik Cunningham. This leaves the Patriots with only one quarterback, Mac Jones, on their roster. Zappe showed promise as a rookie, but with Jones firmly established as the starter, the Patriots decided to part ways with him. Zappe is expected to generate interest from other teams, while Cunningham may revert to the Patriots' practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers.
